Yale won all three boat races at New London on Thursday, June 25, under almost perfect weather conditions.

...Clarkson was in the best form, struck out thirteen men, and allowed but two hits. His splendid work may be seen in the fact that only three Pennsylvania men besides the necessary twenty-seven, went to bat during the entire game.

The stage and actors will be made visible in all parts of the grounds by lime lights which will be so managed as to create an almost perfect effect, judging from recent performances at Wellesley and New York by this same company. The cast of "As You Like It" will be as follows: Duke, living in banishment, Henry Hadfield Jaques, Amiens, A Lord, attending on the Duke, Ben Greet, Robert S. Pigott, Percy Waram Oliver, Jacques, Orlando, sons...
